are you using? One you've made yourself or a pre-made base such as the base made by Anthony Eddy? If you're using a pre-made, I would use white glue and water, mist the base, and add oak leves or pine needles before the glue dries, and add some morrels for an added bonus. These products can all be bought from any supplier. If you're making you own base, by pouring foam, add the materials to the foam before it dries. WASCO sells a great video by Frank Newmyer on maiking turkey bases.., well worth the money.

I use Quickstand sold by Research Mannikins. It can be applied thin and anything will stick to it. It can be colored. I can make it to be whatever habitat I desire, from tropics to desert, swamp to alpine.
i made my own base out of 1 x 6 joined together to make an oval base. just need to make it eye appealing. i did try to add dirt and pine needles which was ok, but i think i over did it a little or jsut didnt do it right, it looks busy to me. any help? thanks in advance again.
